Some more questions, what happens when things begin to dawn on me:)

You said the disk filled up entirely with log files yet currently the number(size) of logs is growing.

It’s holding stable now.  I tried to vacuum up to clean some space which turned out to generate more pg_xlog activity than it saved space, and (I assume) the archiver fell behind and that was the source of the growing log.  There haven’t been any new segments since I stopped doing that.

Yea, vacuum just marks space as available for reuse it does not actually free space.
